Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and reagents for performing a fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) to determine the presence or amount of phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites in samples, especially fluid biological samples such as urine, serum or plasma, to a method of making the reagents, and to an assay kit containing the reagents.
  • FPIA fluorescence polarization immunoassay
  • the invention relates particularly to (1) reagents (tracers and antibodies, and an assay kit containing the tracers and antibodies) for determining the presence or amount of phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites in a sample; (2) immunogen compounds used to raise monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies; (3) synthetic methods for making the tracer and immunogen compounds; and (4) analytical methods for conducting the assay.
  • Phencyclidine is a synthetic drug with potent analgesic and anesthetic properties. This drug has been shown to produce serious and prolonged post-anesthetic confusion and delirium. Its tendency to produce hallucinations, euphoria, distortions in perceptions, and feelings of dissociation have lead to illicit use and abuse. Recurring abuse has intensified efforts to prevent its manufacture and distribution. Consistent with these efforts, there exists a need for detection methods which are rapid, reliable and selective for phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites.
  • Phencyclidine is metabolized into two major metabolites, 4-phenyl-4-piperidinocyclohexanol and 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine, each of which is excreted mostly in the urine along with the corresponding glucuronide conjugates. Detection of either phencyclidine or phencyclidine metabolites indicates phencyclidine use.
  • Urine samples are non-invasive of the body, and are generally more accessible than blood samples. However, testing of other biological materials is also possible.
  • competitive binding immunoassays are used for measuring ligands in a test sample.
  • a "ligand” is a substance of biological interest to be quantitatively determined by a competitive binding immunoassay technique).
  • the ligands compete with a labeled reagent (a "ligand analog” or "tracer") for a limited number of ligand binding sites on antibodies specific to the ligand and ligand analog.
  • the concentration of ligand in the sample determines the amount of ligand analog which binds to the antibody, and the amount of ligand analog that will bind to the antibody is inversely proportional to the concentration of ligand in the sample, because the ligand and the ligand analog each bind to the antibody in proportion to their respective concentrations.
  • FPIA techniques provide a quantitative means for measuring the amount of tracer-antibody conjugate produced in a competitive binding immunoassay.
  • Such procedures are based on the principle that a fluorescent labeled compound, when excited by plane polarized light, will emit fluorescence having a degree of polarization inversely related to its rate of rotation. Accordingly, when a tracer-antibody conjugate having a fluorescent label is excited with plane polarized light, the emitted light remains highly polarized because the fluorophore is constrained from rotating between the time that light is absorbed and emitted. In contrast, when an unbound tracer is excited by plane polarized light, its rotation is much faster than the corresponding tracer-antibody conjugate and the molecules become more randomly oriented. As a result, the light emitted from the unbound tracer molecules is depolarized.
  • Riboflavin interference A problem that heretofore has prevented the accurate determination of phencyclidine and other "drugs of abuse" in urine by FPIA techniques is that of riboflavin interference.
  • Riboflavin, or vitamin B2 is a common constituent of many foods and of commercially available vitamin supplements. Riboflavin is excreted primarily in the urine and has a fluorescence spectrum quite similar to that of fluorescein. As a result, the presence of riboflavin in even moderate amounts in urine samples creates an interference which can produce erroneous data. While ordinary consumption of riboflavin is unlikely to produce more than trace amounts of riboflavin in the urine, test results can readily be distorted by the consumption of excessive quantities of vitamin supplements by persons wishing to prevent detection of phencyclidine.
  • the present invention offers an advance in the art in that tracers, a method for making the tracers, and an assay using the tracers and monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies are provided specifically for the determination of phencyclidines and phencyclidine metabolites without riboflavin interference.
  • the present invention is directed to a fluorescence polarization immunoassay for phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites; to tracers, immunogens and antibodies; to a reagent kit containing tracers and antibodies for use in the assay; and to methods for making the tracers, immunogens and antibodies.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to the discovery of unique tracers and immunogens having novel structures.
  • the tracers and the immunogens can both be represented by each of the structural formulas shown in Figures 5 and 20 wherein: W is CH or N; R is a linking group including up to 4 heteroatoms, and having a total of from 0 to 8 carbon atoms and heteroatoms, arranged in a straight or branched chain, and containing up to one aliphatic or aromatic ring structure, said heteroatoms being O, N, S, P or F; Z is NH, CO, CNH, or OCO; n is 0 or 1 when W is N and n is 1 when W is CH; and Q is a poly(amino acid), a poly(amino acid) derivative, fluorescein or a fluorescein derivative.
  • the compound when Q is a poly(amino acid) or a derivative thereof, the compound can be used as an immunogen.
  • Q is fluorescein or a derivative thereof, the compound can be used as a tracer.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to monoclonal or polyclonal, preferably monoclonal, antibodies raised against the novel immunogens of the invention.
  • monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies are prepared in response to a compound according to one of the aforementioned structural formulas ( Figures 5 or 20), when Q is a poly(amino acid) or a derivative thereof.
  • an immunogen is made by a method comprising the step of coupling a compound represented by either of the structural formulas shown in Figures 3 or 21, wherein: W is CH or N; R is a linking group including up to 4 heteratoms, and having a total of from 0 to 8 carbon atoms and heteroatoms, arranged in a straight or branched chain, and containing up to one aliphatic or aromatic ring structure, said heteroatoms being O, N, S, P or F; Z is NH2, COOH, CN, CHO or OH; and n is 0 or 1 when W is N and n is 1 when W is CH; with a poly(amino acid) or a derivative of a poly(amino acid).
  • a fifth aspect of the invention relates to the elimination of potential fluorescence interference by riboflavin.
  • Riboflavin binding protein (RBP) is added either directly to each sample, or to one or more of the reagents utilized in the assay, wherein it binds all riboflavin which may be present in the sample into RBP-riboflavin complexes, thus eliminating fluorescence interference.
  • RBP Riboflavin binding protein
  • Other fluorescence-quenching substances may also be utilized for this purpose.
  • a process for detecting or measuring the concentration of phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites is provided.
  • a sample is contacted with a phencyclidine derivative antiserum, and with a fluorescein-containing phencyclidine derivative capable of producing a detectable fluorescence polarization response to the presence of the phencyclidine derivative antiserum.
  • Plane polarized light is then passed through the solution to obtain a fluorescence polarization response, and this response is detected as a measure of the amount of phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolite in the sample.
  • a seventh aspect of the present invention relates to a stabilized reagent kit which is useful for determining the presence or amount of phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites in a sample.
  • the reagent kit contains novel tracers, and salts thereof, which are useful as reagents in the novel method of the present invention.
  • reagent kit include: (1) a solution containing an amount of riboflavin binding protein which is effective to reduce fluorescence interference by riboflavin; (2) a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody reagent which has been raised against an immunogen which is capable of specifically recognizing and binding phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites and the novel tracer reagents of the present invention; and (3) a wash solution containing a sufficient amount of dimethylformamide and a sufficient amount of butanol to wash the probe of an automated or semiautomated instrument used to conduct the assay, with the result that carryover of phencyclidine from one sample to the next sample is reduced.

  • Figure 23 shows the structure of the most preferred immunogen of the present invention.
  • the present invention involves the use of fluorescein and derivatives of fluorescein.
  • a necessary property of fluorescein and its derivatives for the usefulness of the tracer compounds of the present invention is the fluorescence of fluorescein.
  • Fluorescein exists in two tautomeric forms, illustrated in Figure 4, depending on the acid concentration (pH) of the environment.
  • the open (acid form) there are a number of conjugated double bonds which make that form of fluorescein (and compounds containing a fluorescein moiety) capable of absorbing blue light and emitting green fluorescence after an excited state lifetime of about 4 nanoseconds.
  • the open and closed forms coexist, the relative concentration of molecules in the open and closed forms is easily altered by adjustment of the pH level.
  • the tracer compounds of the present invention exist in solution as biologically acceptable salts such as sodium, potassium, ammonium and the like, which allows the compounds to exist in the open, fluorescent form, when employed in the analytical methods of the present invention.
  • the specific salt present will depend on the buffer employed to adjust the pH level. For example, in the presence of a sodium phosphate buffer, the compounds of the present invention will generally exist in the open form, as a sodium salt.
  • fluorescein either as an individual compound or as a component of a larger compound, is meant to include both the open and closed forms, if they exist for a particular molecule, except in the context of fluorescence. An open form is necessary for the fluorescence to occur.
  • the numbering of carbon atoms of the fluorescein molecule varies, depending upon whether the open or closed form of the molecule is considered. Accordingly, the literature concerning fluorescein and its compounds is not uniform as to carbon atom numbering.
  • the para-carbon to the carbonyl of the lactone on the phenyl ring is numbered 6 (this is sometimes denominated "isomer II").
  • the para-carbon to the carboxylic acid group on the phenyl ring is numbered 5 (this is sometimes denominated "isomer I").
  • Figure 4 illustrates these isomers.
  • the numbering of the closed form is adopted because the raw materials used in the syntheses are most popularly numbered with that system.
  • the carbon atom of fluorescein and its compounds which is opposite the carboxyl group is therefore numbered "6" for the purposes of the present disclosure.
  • a tracer which is not complexed to an antibody is free to rotate in less than the time required for absorption and re-emission of fluorescent light.
  • the re-emitted light is relatively randomly oriented so that the fluorescence polarization of a tracer not complexed to an antibody is low, approaching zero.
  • the tracer-antibody complex thus formed assumes the rotation of the antibody molecule which is slower than that of the relatively smaller tracer molecule, thereby increasing the polarization observed. Therefore, when a ligand competes with the tracer for antibody sites, the observed polarization of fluorescence of the tracer-antibody complex becomes a value somewhere between that of the tracer and tracer-antibody complex.
  • the observed polarization value is closer to that of the free tracer, i.e., low. If the test sample contains a low concentration of the ligand, the polarization value is closer to that of the bound tracer, i.e., high.
  • Both the immunogens and the tracers of the present invention are represented by the general structural formulas described in the Summary of the Invention, and illustrated in Figures 5 and 20.
  • Q is a poly(amino acid)
  • the structure represents the immunogen
  • Q is a fluorescein derivative
  • the structure represents the tracer.
  • haptens are precursors of the immunogens, comprising generally a substituted phencyclidine derivative and a linking group to the poly(amino acid) carrier.
  • Suitable monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies can be produced from a variety of phencyclidine derivatives. Such antibodies are useful in a phencyclidine and phencyclidine metabolites assay according to the invention when combined with the appropriate tracer.
  • the immunogens of the present invention also have the general structural formulas shown in Figures 6, 8 and 22.
  • the immunogens have the structural formula shown in Figure 22.
  • the structure of the most preferred immunogen is shown in Figure 23.
  • thyroglobulin is the poly(amino acid) employed in the most preferred form of the immunogen of the present invention
  • various protein carriers may be employed, including albumins, serum proteins, e.g., globulins, ocular lens proteins, lipoproteins and the like.
  • Illustrative protein carriers include, in addition to thyroglobulin, bovine serum albumin, keyhole limpet hemocyanin, egg ovalbumin, bovine gamma-globulin, thyroxine binding globulin, etc.
  • synthetic poly(amino acids) may be prepared having a sufficient number of available amino groups, such as lysines, or carboxylic acid groups, such as glutamate.
  • the corresponding glutaraldehyde derivative of the above poly(amino acid) carriers may also be employed when the hapten coupling group is an amino group.
  • the immunogens can be prepared by coupling a compound of the class shown in Figure 3 or 21 with a poly(amino acid) or a derivative of a poly(amino acid), as will be discussed in the context of the synthetic method and the Examples below.
  • the possible variations in the structure of the tracers of the invention are even greater than the possible variations in the structure of the haptens thereof.
  • the tracers of the present invention have the general structural formulas described in the Summary of the Invention and illustrated in Figures 5 and 20, where Q represents a fluorescein moiety or a fluorescein derivative.
  • the phencyclidine or phencyclidine derivative can be attached to the fluorescein molecule or fluorescein derivative at any position on the fluorescein molecule or derivative at which the fluorescent properties of the molecule would be retained, including, as numbered in Figure 4 for the acid form of fluorescein, positions 4, 5 and 3a.
  • the tracers have the structural formula shown in Figure 9.
  • the tracers have the structure shown in Figure 14.
  • the tracer is a phencyclidine derivative which is linked to a fluorescein derivative by, e.g. , an amido, amidino, triazinylamino, carbamido, thiocarbamido, carbamoyl, thiocarbamoyl, or sulfomylcarbamoyl group, as shown in Figure 11.
  • the tracers are prepared by linking the appropriate fluorescein derivative to a phencyclidine derivative containing an amino, carboxylic acid, hydroxy, imidate, hydrazide, chloroformate, chlorothioformate, chlorosulfonyl-carbamoyl, isocyanate, thioisocyanate, or similar group, as will be discussed in the context of the synthetic method and the Examples below.
  • any of the following fluorescein derivatives can be used:

After the supernate was decanted from the centrifuge tube, the B-lymphocyte cells described above were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells in a 2:1 ratio of B-lymphocyte cells to myeloma cells using the procedures described in Kohler and Milstein, supra , with the exception that a PEG 1450 solution, MW 1300-1600 (polyethylene glycol, American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD), rather than sendai virus, was employed to fuse the myeloma cells to the B-lymphocyte cells.
  • a PEG 1450 solution MW 1300-1600 (polyethylene glycol, American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD), rather than sendai virus
  • the pellet of myeloma cells which resulted after centrifugation was resuspended with the above-described B-lymphocyte cell suspension, and then the resulting suspension was centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1000 rpm. The supernate was then aspirated from the centrifuge tube, leaving a very dry pellet. The pellet was loosened by gently tapping the bottom of the centrifuge tube on a hard object and 1 mL of a PEG 1450 solution (prepared by diluting 1 mL of PEG 1450 solution with 2 mL of IMDM with 1% pen-strep and 1% L-glutamine) was slowly added to the loosened pellet for about 10 seconds.
  • a PEG 1450 solution prepared by diluting 1 mL of PEG 1450 solution with 2 mL of IMDM with 1% pen-strep and 1% L-glutamine
  • the centrifuge tube was then rotated to ensure the even distribution of the PEG solution throughout the cell mixture for about 20 seconds.
  • the resulting fusion mixture was then slowly resuspended with 10 mL IMDM with 1% pen-strep and 1% L-glutamine and then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1000 rpm.
  • HAT selective IMDM [IMDM plus 1% 1-glutamine, 1% pen-strep, 1% HAT media (Gibco, Grand Island, New York) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, Logan, Utah)] and then plated out at a concentration of 3 x 105 cells per well in HAT selective IMDM in 96-well tissue culture plates (Nunc, Naperville, Illinois). STM mitogen (RIBI Immunochem, Hamilton, Montana) was added to the initial plating media in order to promote hybrid survival.
  • Hybrid colonies which resulted were fed with HT media [IMDM plus 1% 1-glutamine, 1% penn-strep, 1% HT (Gibco, Grand Island, New York) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, Logan, Utah)] on days 5 and 7 post fusion.
  • HT media IMDM plus 1% 1-glutamine, 1% penn-strep, 1% HT (Gibco, Grand Island, New York) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, Logan, Utah)
  • the cloning of the hybrids was performed by limiting dilution in HT media. Generally, the following dilutions of hybrids were prepared using HT media:
  • Clone selection was based on the ability of the antibodies produced by the clones to: (1) displace the tracer described above with 500 ng/mL of free phencyclidine (greater than 80% displacement); and (2) not be inhibited by the initial cross reactivity panel of 10 different compounds (greater than 50% with respect to each of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, imipramine, desipramine, dextromethorphan, levallorphan, promazine, ketamine, orphenadrine, diphenhydramine, each of which was tested at 100 ug/mL in PBS).
  • hybridoma cell lines BALB/c mouse B-lymphocyte-SP2/O myeloma fusion cell lines
  • clone cell lines was designated PCP 2-101-189, was deposited on May 16, 1990, with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Rockville, Maryland, USA, and was given accession number HB10456 by the ATCC.
